88 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "The Dirler-Cade 2005 Pinot Cuvee Vieilles Vignes is true Pinot Blanc (or Klevner, as it is often locally known) with not a drop of Auxerrois. Apple and citrus dominate in the nose and mouth, with a hint of apple seed bitterness balanced by a subtle hint of sweetness, and a creamy, chalky, yet clear-fruited finish. (Jul/Aug 2007)" Organic/biodynamic since 2002 (certified by Biodyvin).

(We'll reduce item's price when processing your order.) Light to medium straw color with a floral nose flecked with interesting minerality. On the palate, this is very generous with vivid orchard fruits and a pleasing medium body and compact, focused frame.

(We'll reduce item's price when processing your order.) 87 points Mark Squires: "This is an interesting wine, in that it seems to have some contradictions. It is dry-ish, but it seems very rich, and I would suspect it was picked late. I wondered in fact if there was a bit of botrytis on it. There are caramel tinges on the finish, and if sugar is not very obvious, the richness of the wine is certainly apparent. Lush, and smoothly textured, it coats the mouth... (2008)"

16.5/20 points La Revue du Vin de France (2008).
Domaine Valentin Zusslin, a 13 hectare property located in the quaint Alsacian town of Orchwihr, has a history dating back to 1691. The Bollenberg vineyard has clay and limestone soils. This wine exhibits spot on Gewürz aromas of lychee and rose. Good acids balance the substantial fruit on the palate. Great aperitif.
